PatientSource's ePrescribing module summary, including its prescription checking and ease of use

Electronic Prescribing (ePrescribing)

Electronic prescribing makes your patients safer. 43% of inpatient drugs charts contain an error, of which more than half are "significant" or "serious"[1]. If you are using paper drugs charts in your hospital, you are putting your patients at considerable risk. This risk is completely avoidable: electronic prescribing with decision support reduces medication errors by 86%[2].

It's not just the patients who need electronic prescribing, your staff waste hours each week rewriting drugs charts, finding lost charts and walking across the hospital to prescribe new medications.

PatientSource's electronic prescriptions module (ePrescribing) replaces card drug charts increasing patient safety by carrying out automatic checks on prescriptions and alerting clinicians to problems. ePrescribing is driven by a British drug database and checks all prescribed drugs against known patient allergies, for drug-drug interactions and for the appropriate dose, route and frequency of administration.

Our ePrescribing solution is one module of our modular platform, meaning it can be purchased as a stand-alone solution or as part of a wider PatientSource system.
